8 is a hard one for me. I WANT to like it because you can make some crazy combos and there’s so much side content to chew through. And I find the setting fascinating.

But the main story is a fucking mess. And I hate treating magic like items. Drawing for necessary stuff sucks and put me off of it until I realized you can smelt items for magic. But there’s still a handful of spells (like triple) that are such a pain to get 99 of. Also switching junction setups is clunky for the amount of times they force you to character swap.
